No Politicians Allowed

The Responsible Budget Coalition's Wednesday rally could draw as many as 15,000 participants -- all in support of generating new revenue to solve the state budget crisis. It may be the biggest rally in Springfield history and there are sure to be a wide array of speakers addressing the crowd. But according to the Illinois Federation of Teachers' Dave Comerford, one group won't be invited to the podium:

“No politician will be speaking at the rally. They’ve done
enough talking without acting,” said Comerford. “They need to hear
from us.”
